Semantically, a SADR-aware route with source ::/0 is equivalent to a
non-SADR aware route. So what about a variant of this that makes the
SADR information be always available in the routing table, and just
filters out routes with non-zero source prefix for protocols that are
not SADR-aware?

I'm not sure if it's even necessary with a separate address type for
SADR in this case?
